Barolo Coste di Rose DOCG 2019 (BIO)
G.D. Vajra | Piedmont
Az. Agr. G.D. Vajra | Via delle Viole, 25 | 12060 Barolo
The latest addition to Vajra's Barolo line-up comes from a 1.5-hectare plot in Coste di Rose, a small MGA (Menzioni Geografiche Aggiuntive) in the Barolo region. This is a steep slope at 310 metres above sea level with a high proportion of sandy soils with good drainage, whose vines and soils are cultivated close to nature. This very accessible Barolo is straightforward, forward and impresses even at a young age with its refreshing candour. A very precise bouquet of cherry, plum, liquorice, spices and menthol, followed by a broad and multi-layered fruity palate with plenty of juice and power, supportive tannins and a full, long, mineral and minty finish. SUPERIORE.DE
"Light, bright ruby red colour. Elegant nose of red berries, violets and rose petals. Medium structure on the palate, fine acidity with precise fruit, well-integrated tannins and a persistent finish, still storable." Falstaff
"Very perfumed with fresh roses and lilacs as well as cherries and raspberries. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a slightly liquid palate that should fill out well with bottle ageing." James Suckling
"The 2019 Barolo Coste di Rose is the most open of the single-vineyard wines, but it is not the light-footed Barolo it has often been in the past. Bright acids and supportive tannins give the 2019 a taut, rather nervous feel. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spicy flowers and earthy tones develop with a little time in the glass. The tannin is a little nervous and needs to be softened, but all elements are nicely balanced." Vinous
"An open, flowing red wine with solid tannins and flavours of cherry, raspberry, earth and iron. Accents of tomato leaf and eucalyptus shine through in the long aftertaste." Wine Spectator
"Coste di Rose is located on a steep sandstone slope that descends from Barolo towards Monforte. A little hidden gem," says winemaker Giuseppe Vaira. The fruit is denser compared to the Bricco delle Viole, but still shows a perfumed finesse with spicy raspberries, dark berries, balsam and woody undertones. A beautiful balance of bright acidity and vibrant wild berries and pomegranate, with hints of earth, wood, balsam and forest undergrowth. Bright and juicy, but with the structure and concentration to excel after a few years in the cellar." Decanter
"The G.D. Vajra 2019 Barolo Coste di Rose shows a darker fruit core with dusty earthy tones and campfire ash. The grape skins were quite thick in 2019, which means less work was done with the dipped pomace cap and other extractive methods. The beauty of this wine is its mouthfeel, which feels rich, dense and silky." Wine Advocate
"This wine lifts from the glass with poise and confidence from the get go. Macerated and dried raspberries capture the attention, as wildflowers, herbs and truffles draw you deep into the glass. The textured palate offers layers of mixed red berries that are framed by fine, yet firm tannins and crunchy acidity. The wine ends with tart red fruits, mint and dusty chalk" Wine Enthusiast
"It comes from a very small MGA of Barolo, characterised by the presence of a dune of Diano sandstone from the Torton period. It has a very fine bouquet with notes of red cherries and dog rose, with hints of white pepper and eucalyptus. Juicy and balsamic on the palate, with iodised tannins and great firmness." Luca Gardini
